Pictures of Austin in the 1950s-1960s

One of the most fun parts of talking to World War II veterans in Austin is their memory of what Austin was like before it got so big.  Well, I've got some great pictures to share with you today.

Click this link to see a huge compilation of pictures from the 1950s and 1960s. Want to see Burnet and Koenig when new development was happening?  Curious as to what it looks like when Congress floods?  It's a treasure trove.
